My oldest son who unfortunately voted for BO posted this on his FB page:

No one should die because they cannot afford burritos, and no one should go broke because they got sick from eating burritos. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day.

His brother duplicated it on his page and I put it on mine.

I don't know if he originated it (it sounds like him) or he got it somewhere else. Maybe he is beginning to have buyers remorse although he would never admit it to me.

This sounds to me like the lefts defacto attempt to justify socializing health care, not a critique of it.

The problem with the US health care system as they see it, is if you get sick, you can wind up going broke. Because yes a major diagnosis can indeed be financially devastating to a person of family. However, when the choice is going broke, or being dead because you couldn’t get care, going broke isn’t the worst of the 2 options.

The issue with this debate is the left is being absolutely dishonest about what it is about. This has nothing to do with health care, or even health care reform or health care insurance reform, it has EVERYTHING to do with power and control.

Here’s the reality, if you filter out the illegals, and the people who voluntarily opt out of health care insurnace you are left with 8 Million uninsured americans. We could buy decent private policies for all of these 8 Million americans for a total price of about $29 BILLION a year.

Congress has hundreds of times this still sitting unspent in TARP money, if they were serious about insuring these people they could move money out of there today to insure them. They won’t and they don’t, because THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH CARE INSURANCE OR REFORM!

Its simply about CONTROL.

How can you remotely state you are talking about reforming the system, when TORT REFORM isn’t even on the table??

Be serious folks, anyone who thinks this has anything to do with “reform” is an ignorant dupe, or a ideological radical.
